This issue launches the column "Loyalty and Maintenance core, determined to strive for a strong army": "The light of truth illuminates the road of endeavor!" 》
Time is like water, there are always crystalline waves that soar; The journey is like a rainbow, and there is always the light of thought to guide the course. At a training ground on the shore of Bohai Bay, Xi Jinping's Propaganda Group for Strengthening the Army, composed of theoretical backbones of soldiers of a brigade of the 80th Group Army, was active in the forefront of the position. One after another, the propaganda was thorough and thorough, facing the concerns head-on, discussing and talking freely about their experiences and consolidating consensus again and again, the officers and soldiers consciously used Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army to unify their thoughts and actions, constantly forged their original intentions in the process of watching and following, the belief in listening to the party's command was firmer, and the enthusiasm for training troops to fight wars was even higher.
The long wind wind surrounds the battle flag, and the red heart always faces the party. As a heroic unit that regards the "iron heart to the party" as the soul of the brigade, since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the brigade has unremittingly armed officers and soldiers with Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, navigated the direction, illuminated the road of endeavor with the light of truth, and continuously condensed the magnificent strength to promote the strong military cause in the new era.
Gu Ben Peiyuan, the idea of strengthening the army leads the growth
Arm officers and men with the party's innovative theories
In the middle of summer in the Ludong Mountains, the sun is scorching. After participating in a day's field training, Qiu Zhen, a soldier of the brigade's "Jinzhou Combat Sharp Knife Company", plunged into the "study tent" and studied it with relish in his hand.
From not adapting to the life of the troops at the beginning and not being able to keep up with the rhythm of training, to now growing into an excellent soldier and being rated as an excellent sniper, talking about the growth and changes in the army in less than a year, Qiu Zhen said emotionally that it was the party's innovative theory that touched his thinking, and the pace of devoting himself to training and preparing for war was even more firm.
According to the leader of the brigade, Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, as the latest achievement of the party's military guidance theory, is the spiritual source that leads the growth and progress of officers and soldiers.
"The greater the departure, the more the need for the banner to lead; The more you hit the water, the more you need to navigate the lighthouse. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the brigade has insisted on taking the cultivation of the soul as the core task of political work, continued to promote Xi Jinping Thought on strengthening the army to the grass-roots level, mastered officers and soldiers, focused on cultivating successors who obey the party's command, forged a combat team that can win battles, and strived to shape the revolutionary soldiers of the "four haves" era.
Firmly follow systematics. Whenever President Xi Jinping made an important speech and issued instructions, and whenever the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission held an important meeting and made major decisions and deployments, the brigade insisted on studying on the go and systematically studying in depth. After the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was convened, the party committee of the brigade organized collective study at the first time, and relying on the system of "members of the Standing Committee to pack camps and link up with science and technology companies," formed a "standing committee propaganda team" to go down to the grass-roots level, combined with the glorious history of the people's army and the development process of the brigade, to give theoretical propaganda to officers and men at the grass-roots level, and to continuously deepen the understanding of officers and men of the spirit of the plenum.
Implement the system regularly. Every year, we will solidly organize rotational training for grass-roots officers and soldiers' theoretical backbones, regularly carry out theoretical service activities at the grass-roots level, and guide officers and soldiers to truly grasp the positions and viewpoints and methods contained in Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army. Last year, after the conference to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the brigade party committee and theoretical backbone formed a propaganda group to go to the grass-roots level to carry out dozens of "menu-style services and face-to-face counseling" to help officers and soldiers deepen the study and understanding of the spirit of President Xi's important speech at the conference through systematic exposition, popular expression, story interpretation, and mass dissemination, deepen the understanding and understanding of the century-old party history, and effectively improve the quality and effectiveness of theoretical indoctrination.
Mobilize officers and men to study extensively. Adopt the method of "reading, speaking, taking notes, discussing, and examining" and the forms of keynote speeches, study competitions, and knowledge breakthroughs, and do a good job in regular theoretical study by officers and men. Since the beginning of this year, the brigade has extensively carried out mass theoretical study and practice activities such as the "Story Meeting on Strengthening the Army" and the "Soldiers' Lecture Hall." Officers and men have continuously enhanced their "four consciousnesses," strengthened their "four self-confidences," and achieved "two safeguards," implemented the responsibility system of the chairman of the Central Military Commission, and ensured that they should firmly follow ideologically, be absolutely loyal politically, sincerely support them emotionally, and closely follow step by step in action; they have taken a clear stand in the line and principles; they have always been sober-minded and firm in the face of major issues of right and wrong; they have resolutely obeyed Chairman Xi's command, been responsible to President Xi, and reassured President Xi.
Once the theoretical fire is ignited, it will burst out a powerful force that urges people to forge ahead. Today, in the classroom, next to the chariot, on the ground... Arming the mind, guiding practice, and promoting work with Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army has become the ideological consensus and action consciousness of the officers and men of the brigade. Everyone said that strengthening the army and continuing to struggle is inseparable from the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on strengthening the army.
Enlighten the mind, spring wind and rain drop into the heart
Let the truth carry the temperature to the officers and soldiers
Only by approaching officers and men and arming officers and men can theory better embody value and display its might.
"The enemy can only cut off our heads, and must not shake our faith, because the doctrine we believe in is the truth of the universe..." Not long ago, an immersive theoretical tour that integrated audio-visual elements was brilliantly staged in the brigade's camp, which deeply touched the officers and men at the scene.
The protagonists of the propaganda were none other than the brigade's famous "dandelion" theory propaganda group, whose members were all female college students and soldiers of the information support corps; they used easy-to-understand and popular language to preach the party's innovative theories, and in connection with military intelligence and military affairs, they brought the "far-reaching truths" closer together and the "great truths" in light of military intelligence and military affairs, so that the theory could be integrated with practice, so that officers and men could fully feel the charm of the truth.
In the deepening theme education class focusing on "loyally maintaining the core and striving to strengthen the army", they learned from the model of "interpretation + explanation" of the CCTV hit program "China in the Classics", and adopted various forms such as scene performances, story telling, playing videos, and reciting choruses to clarify the significance of "faith", "youth" and "struggle" in a simple and simple way, so that officers and soldiers can more firmly strengthen their confidence and determination to loyally maintain the core and strive to strengthen the army.
When truth has a temperature, it produces infinite power. The brigade leader said: The reason why the "dandelion" theory propaganda group is widely sought after is because it is close to the grass-roots units and officers and men, and by enhancing the affinity and appeal of the theory, the truth is warm, tactile, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Theory is abstract and rational, but the way of interpretation can be figurative and popular. The brigade made Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army into a "mind map" and drew it into a "theme caricature", compiled a well-remembered and easy-to-understand "three-character song" and "Allegro Book", and "translated" esoteric abstract theories into soldiers' words and soldiers' language and online language that officers and soldiers can understand as soon as they listen to them and learn them, so that the party's innovative theories "fly into the homes of ordinary people".
Only when the form is "alive" can learning really "fire". Keeping a close eye on the current cognitive characteristics and acceptance habits of officers and men, the brigade has continuously explored innovative methods and means, made full use of the information network, built a special web page, enriched network activities, and extensively carried out mass learning activities such as micro-lecture halls, micro-broadcasts, and micro-reading. In order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of study and promote the transformation of practice, they also actively publicized the typical examples of a strong army around officers and men, so that everyone can learn from examples and catch up with goals.
Spring wind and rain pour out the "theoretical aroma". Nowadays, it has become a common practice for officers and men of the brigade to study theories in their spare time and to exchange and talk about theories in peacetime, and everyone has said one after another: The more they study, the brighter their hearts are, and the more they study, the more they have the light in their eyes!
Unity of knowledge and action, really ready to take responsibility
Increase the contribution rate to the victory of the strong army
The deeper the roots of theory, the stronger the soul of loyalty is cast.
"An unknown person was found on the front right side of post No. 3 who tried to illegally cross over..." In the middle of summer in West Africa, during a special intelligence exercise organized by the ninth batch of Chinese peacekeeping guard detachments in Mali, which was drawn by the officers and men of the brigade, the Tibetan soldier Fannong acted decisively and made a rapid attack, successfully subduing the lawbreakers. At the end of the exercise, this blood-filled Tibetan-Pakistani Man shared his learning experience with his comrades-in-arms: "We must always bear in mind President Xi's entrustment and strive to be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order." ”
Loyal to follow the heart to the party, go out to the thousands of miles without trek. Although the officers and men of the peacekeeping are far away from the motherland, they have always adhered to theoretical study; they have broadcast President Xi's latest important speech by opening the "Voice of the Blue Helmets," founded the "Blue Helmets Elite Soldier Newspaper" to publish the theoretical study experiences of officers and men, opened the "Blue Helmets Lecture Hall" to share their learning experiences, the officers and men consciously focused on their missions and tasks to strengthen theoretical armament, the ideological foundation of obeying the party's command has become more and more solid, and the motivation for training troops with strong military strength has become more abundant.
"Action is the beginning of knowledge, and knowledge is the completion of action." To strengthen theoretical armament, we must focus on the main task of responsibility, and truly achieve the integration of learning, thinking, application, knowledge, faith, and practice. According to the leaders of the brigade, they paid attention to making efforts in integrating into the preparation for war, promoting transformation, and solving difficult problems, guiding officers and men to participate in training with topics and discuss with questions, and answering Chairman Xi's "questions of winning the war," "questions of value," and "questions of skill" in the practice of a fiery and strong army.
"Learning ability is combat effectiveness, and the key lies in using the party's latest theoretical achievements to guide practice and promote work." Looking back at the extraordinary course of the development of the brigade in recent years, the fiery scenes of striving to strengthen the army under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army appeared in front of the eyes of the officers and soldiers.
They repeatedly studied and comprehended the spirit of Chairman Xi's series of important instructions on strengthening preparations for war, focused on rectifying the problem of untruthful examination style of training style and style, opened the knife to the "arrogant" two-breath of lack of courage and lack of blood, and opened the knife to the false handle style of "training for exercise and training for watching.", and the whole brigade made a strong return to the really difficult and strict preparation for war.
At the beginning of the reform and transformation, they conscientiously studied and implemented President Xi Jinping's important exposition on reforming and strengthening the army, cohesively maintained the determination, perseverance and tenacity to support the reform and devote themselves to the reform, withstood the test of reshaping and reconstruction, the run-in of the system operation, and the whole brigade concentrated on tackling tough problems, breaking obstacles, and winning the battle of transformation and upgrading.
To promote military training and preparation for war, they insisted on "one exercise and one review, one difficult problem and one consultation."Officers and men made concerted efforts to separate and solve the difficult problems that restrict the generation of the combat effectiveness of the troops. In the distribution of a certain new type of ammunition, the backbone of all cadres of the artillery profession worked overtime to tackle key problems such as shell performance, firing difficulties, and equipment support, sorted out and formed a complete set of complete data, and scored good results in the first real hit.
The wind is sailing bravely, and it is necessary to open a new and start again. In recent years, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, the brigade has successfully completed a number of major tasks such as live military exercises, key research pilots, and international peacekeeping, and officers and soldiers have always maintained high morale and tenacious fighting spirit, and the combat effectiveness level of the troops has continued to improve.
